That doesn't seem especially heinous. It is making criminal investigators in the division certified with the peace officers standards and training board.

Just another hurdle for Coloraso FFLs. AKA Cut #782 of 1000.

giving them the ability to carry weapons, conduct investigations, and make arrests

Even ignoring the fact this is vs firearms, this is a hell-fucking-no. Any time you do this, you create exclusive-jurisdiction for power-tripping wanna-be cops, and quite problematically, there's not many of them.

This is the same as giving a lone mall-cop exclusive jurisdiction to arrest anyone in his mall, "investigate them" - resulting in tons of criminal charges, and oh yeah, give them a gun. And oh yeah, local law enforcement can't intervene in Mall cop's jurisdiction.

The state CAN work with local law enforcement. But they don't want pesky Sheriffs getting in the way, they want Team 'Rado Space force to roll in there with their purple haired trans unit driving five bearcats.

Expanding police powers in this state does not seem "especially heinous"?


I'm sure people in a small European country felt the same way on 4 April 1925.

This is not the bill that created the positions. That was 24-1353.

That was the heinous expansion of powers. It created a new division of government and layered double licensing and taxation on FFLs. It should be repealed and the division disbanded.

This is making sure the officers that bill (now law) created are P.O.S.T.-board-certified. It does not change or expand their legal authority.

Having every law enforcement officer required to operate under the same standards is not an infringement on second amendment rights.

Authorizing POST-certified peace officers to hold positions in a unit that was originally created as a compliance unit is not expanding their legal authority? Really?!

Found out today that a second friend of mine that's an FFL is throwing in the towel and moving out of state.

One to Oklahoma and one to Texas.

Democrats: Mission Accomplished!

As a business owner I can say that giving the licensing arm the policing powers would not be good for anyone other than the licensing arm.
